[Splix]

CoolWebSearch and PSgaurd seem to be working together on my computer. Everytime I open IE it loads Psgaurd folders all over my computer. Half the time Ill get Hijacked and taken to the CoolWebSearch Page and in my address bar reads about:blank, the other half it loads to my default page just fine. When I turned off selective startup to run Hijackthis IE slowed to unberable speeds. Ive been having trouble with any sites that I have to log in at, and recently Ive been having trouble comunicating in forums the the page wont load. Im using Adaware, Adwatch, Avg, Spybot S & D, CWShreader, & Killbox to try and kill them myself but these suckers are just to smart for my seriously lacking computer skills. Killbox cant even take out this Filese.dll, and I cant find [/U]intell32.exe[U], anywhere on my computer even though it keeps showing up in my taskmanager. Ive found other files that I cant delete as well but cant remeber the names at the moment. I even thought Id try an old dos trick and just edit the file to delete the code, no luck though. Ad-watch and Spybot seem to be keeping my computer functional for the moment Ad-watch is logging about 100 or so attempts a minute to alter my registrys, and somhow my registrys are still getting modified, because every time I run adaware I come up with 60 to 80 hits. PLEASE HEL! I was having fun trying to get this out for a while, but its been 3 days now.

Heres my Hijack this log:

Hello again, Splix.

Please read this post completely, it may make it easier for you if you copy and paste this post to a new text document or print it for reference later.

This will likely be a few step process in removing the malware that has infected your system. I encourage you to stick with it and follow my directions as closely as possible so as to avoid complicating the problem further.

You have a nasty CoolWebSearch infection. First we will need to download a few tools that will help us in the removal of your problem.

Download about:buster by RubbeRDuckY Here.
Download CWShredder Here.
Download SpSeHjfix Here.
Download and install CleanUp! Here

Save all of these files somewhere you will remember like to the Desktop.

Unzip SpSeHjfix to its own folder (ie c:\SpSeHjfix)

Run the CleanUp! installer. You dont need to do anything with it right now.

Update About:Buster

• Unzip the contents of AboutBuster.zip and an AboutBuster directory will be created.
• Navigate to the AboutBuster directory and double-click on AboutBuster.exe.
• Click "OK" at the prompt with instructions.
• Click "Update" and then "Check For Update" to begin the update process.
• If any updates exist please download them by clicking "Download Update" then click the X to close that window.
• Now close About:Buster

Update CWShredder

• Open CWShredder and click I AGREE
• Click Check For Update
• Close CWShredder

Boot into Safe Mode:
Restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode.

Please run about:buster by RubbeRDuckY:

• Click Start and then OK to allow AboutBuster to scan for Alternate Data Streams.
• Click Yes to allow it to shutdown explorer.exe.
• It will begin to check your computer for malicious files. If it asks if you would like to do a second pass, allow it to do so.
• When it has finished, click Save Log. Make sure you save it as I may need a copy of it later.
• Reboot your computer into safe mode again

Run about:buster again following the same instructions as above, this time without the restart at the end

Now run CWShredder. Click I Agree, then Fix and then Next, let it fix everything it asks about.

Now run SpSeHjfix. A log will be saved in the same folder that you put the exe into. Please post the results of that log in your next reply.

Now run CleanUp!. Click CleanUp and allow it to delete all the temporary files.Reboot your computer into normal windows.

Please run an on-line virus scan at Kaspersky OnLine Scan or if that doesnt work, you can use TrendMicro or BitDefender. (Please post the results of the scan(s) in your next reply)

After all that, please post back with how things went as well as the logs requested and a new HiJackThis log.

Ok sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I had to reformat, because It shut IE down I had no access to the net, & I tried everything. I was able to run those programs you recomended, and right afterward is when IE went down. I don't know if I altered registrys, or deleted somthing on acident. Maybe the strain trys to protect it self cause I still had accesse to P2P networks so it could spread. I dont know. I did get it taken care of though. I lost twenty gigs of data, but I got it. Maybe Ill back my hard drive up a little more often now. Anyways thanks for your help.

[Guse]

Well. Glad it's taken care of... sorry you had to format.

It always sucks losing data.

[Guse]

Since this issue appears to be resolved ... this Topic has been closed. Glad we could help.

If you're the topic starter, and need this topic reopened, please contact a staff member with the address of the thread.
